Gelato is a traditional frozen Italian dessert, akin to ice cream. It is generally higher in sugar than ice cream, lending it a slightly softer texture, but is generally lower in fat, thus gelato is a slightly healthier option. But you won’t be disappointed – it has all of the deliciousness of ice cream. It is also churned slower when made, meaning it contains less air, making this a creamy, flavorsome treat this summer season.
